Artist's description:

Daughter of Zeus and one of the nine muses. In Greek mythology Zeus and Mnemosyne slept together for nine consecutive nights and thereby created the nine Muses. Artists, poets, dancers, etc. all have muses and receive their inspiration from them.

Every ceramic panel tells a fascinating story. They are inspired by Classical Greek Myths and Legends and the many traditions in Ancient Greece. I love ancient Greek vases, especially the wonderful collection in the British Museum in London. They depict fabulous stories of Gods and heroes and the incredible adventures they undertake, including Gods - Demi-gods – Muses - Nymphs - Musicians - Warriors - Acrobats - Sports and scenes from family life.

Technique: White stoneware clay, slab built and fired between 1100 and 1200c in an electric kiln. Decorated with oxides, engobes and glazes. Each piece is hand built and unique (not moulded). Drawings are made from many sources, often ancient Greek Vases in the British Museum. These drawings are given a modern and personal interpretation and then transferred onto lino. Lino cuts are made for the main part of the design and pressed into the rolled clay. Natural and manufactured objects are used to make further impressions to produce strong textures that complement the design. The ceramic panel size is 25x18cm approximately. It is finally put into a quality black 34x25cm frame to show it to good advantage. (A white frame is available if preferred)
